PART CHAPTER I.-CoHTINUED.
One of them hObbled out pace, and
with the bashfulncss of q schoolboy
addressed her:
Pardon me, Miss Helen, IL you
please but have you heard any
thing from you father, the Captain"
"No, Tom 49, I'm sorry to say
haven't" she replied.
A few steps further brought her to
the door where her mother was stand
ing. They exchanged chances. no
more was needed. Mrs. Willis knew
that there was no news. The great
cruel ocean held its secrets, if secrets
il had. about Helen's father, and an
other of whom Helen wished To hear.
Both went into the sitting-room of
the house. Like each of the four rooms
which Captain Willis had repaired and
redeemed from the general wreck and
ruin of the old home. 1t was not only
furnished but finished off with an eye

The mother and daughter both sat
down. and for few moments each was
silent. What Captain Willis had said
to Crawford on the day of his death, rs
TO his relations with these two women,
was strictly truthful 1t could not
have been otherwise; it was the state
ment of the rough, honest sailors
heart, revealed under the shadow of
death. They might have loved him
better had he been able to give more
time from his ship and her voyages. to
devote 10 them. As it was, they
looked upon him IA their hero, their
providence on earth. Their thoughts
were turned toward him now.

pause. 1.-THE Nellie isn't much over

certain that your engagement to Mr..
Crawford has been terminated by
causes beyond his control. or yours"
The demons snccr contained in the
words was lost upon her; it was the
torture of the suspense she was suffer
ing that broke down her restraint, and
made her appeal to him with a pitiful
cry.
Man. if You have spark of feeling
for a suffering woman, speak out! Tell
me what you know"

fered death by the gNrrotc. know

of the party were shot just outside the
walls at Havana. And know that all
the rest of them that haven't suffered
violent deaths in some shape, are in
Cuban prisons, and will spend the bal
ancc of their lives working on forti-
tications there or in Spain, each with
bali and chain TO his leg. So that
if you have any lurking fondness for
this vagrant who you say goes by the
name of Crawford. you'd do well to
hope that the Spaniards have finished
him already. It's by far the more mer-
ciful fate of the two
The strain that had wrought up her
feelings TO the point where the weak
faint and the strong in heart suffer al
most lifetime of agony in minute,
was gone. She knew the worst; or
rather, she knew all that she could
know now. When could she know
more? Would it be week-a month
IA ycar-Or would she ever know the
truth? She bowed her head upon her
hands; the great relief of tears was not
denied her. Swift " her thoughts went
back to that last time he had held her
to his heart-that night, but few
weeks gone, and yet which seemed 50
far away in the past-whcn he babe her
goodbye ut the door of her aunt's
house in Boston. Life with this girl
had thus far been quiet, happy, une-
vcntful, without great shocks or calam-
tiles; its largest event had been the
love that Henry Crawford brought her.
1t was to her, life, hope, every thing;
she could not give it up!

come back; YOU will come back"
As she sat there in silence. thinking
of him, she forgot for the time the very
existence of the man who sat opposite
her. 1t was out of no kindness To her
that he had rcfraincd from telling her
outright that her lover was dead. He
had been governed by the fear that
such an announcements, coming from
him, would increase Hclen's dislike of
himself, and increase the obstacles to
success with her. The exhibition of
her intense affection for Crawford.

tnorns of anger to his heart, and it was

sequences of speaking Of q certain
nameless person"
"We are surprised 10 see you here,
of course" Mrs. Willis said, with evil
dent constraint.
"And you're surprised, too. Helen?"
he asked.
II did not expect to see you again
so soon," was her cvasive reply. The
dislike and repugnance expressed in
her face she neither wished nor was
able to conceal.
| ''Helen told me what occurred be-
l tween you and her." said the mother
I "Since you have come back, plain
I speaking is best. Nobody knew where
!! you had gone when you disappeared SO
suddenly from Provincetown, and /
supposed ut first that your disappoint-
ment with Helen had something to do
with it."
"Of course it had. | thought my
absence for time might cause her to
change her mind"
He looked inquiringly in the dircc-
ton of his hopes. He probably saw
enough there to speedily convince him
that there had been no change.
Mrs. Willis face now assumed an
expression of severity that was rare
with her.
~ must talk Gerry plainly to you,
Louis" she said. II don't know
what brings you back, nor where you
have been, nor am ! pleased to see you
here; for you must know that your
presence here is annoying to Helen.
She told me Of the engagement she
had contracted at Boston when she
came back, and approved of it; but /
must tell you that, had nothing of that
kind stood in the way, there could
never have been any hope for you with
her. Her father has always treated
you with great kindness. because you
were adopted by the sister he loved /;
| but neither he nor have been blind to
your defects of character nor to your
vices. have tried to treat you well
because my husband asked me to; but
l will not pretend that l have in the
least overcome my dislike to you. II
Helen shares in this feeling l can only
say that it is perfectly natural. You
went away without giving me chance
to say this to you; but now that you

had not been invited to sit down; but
the omission did not discomposc him
any more than the reproof He talked
comfortably in the old rocker, regard

THE OLD FIREPLACE.

Isit in my low old.fasbioned room,
BY the fireplace wide and deep,
With battered hearth and crumbling wall
wherethe white wood ashes lightly fall,
Or tremulous shadows creep;
And crickets in the Quivering gloom
Their merry trystings keep.
The night Is dark as the hidden waves
or mystery's tabled sea;
The storm-king kisses the dancing snow,
As he wildly rushes 70 and fro,
And shrieks with clustering glee
At the banging easements round about
aye ancient hostelrie."
But my ingle old is all alight
With CHEEKY heartsomc glow;
The Pickering flames coquet and smile,
And wink and blink with frolicsome guile
Al the brazen dogs" below,
And Groom low songs by breads taught
To forests, long ago.
Ibask in the tender ruddy glow
OF shining, opaline rays,
As, in n magical glass, trace
Strange, shadowy shapes OF antique grace
And curious, stately ways,
Who gathered about this marble hearth
In far-or, old.time days.
A fair, young bride in her white robes leaned
Against the old mantel-tree,

Her sweet face warm with the fires kiss
Saw joys that were yet TO be;
Unheeding In n roseate dream
Her maiden's saucy glee.
And here, dainty blossom OF love,
Half smothered in fieecy white,
In the golden glow which grandly cleaned,
Enclosed its eyes on q world which seemed
All glittering, dazzling, light,
As dancing flames to the tiny babe
Gave welcome warm and bright.
Far back, where the shadows darkly lie
sorrownR group appears;
Thore tired heart and brain NJ rest,
With pale hands crossed on a lifeless breast,
Sore burdened with weary years;
And stricken mcurners silently sit
In agony and tears.
Oh FIRE place wide, OF ancient build,
A Jolly, old sphinx art thou
With never q hint, or sparkling jest
OF friends betrayed, or loves confessed,
Secrets thou knowest trow.
Thou guardest well the honor or shame
Ofives forgotten now.

LOVE THAT ENDURES.


At the mention of the Lopez cxpedi-
ton Helen's face ha2 paled. She said
nothing, but looked attentivcly ut the
speaker. hoping that he might say
something more on that subject. The
anxiety of an affcctionatc child for u
kind parent had been relieved; but the
greater sOlicitudc for another absent
dear one still lay heavy at her heart.
She was in this respect not different
from other maidens, rs they have been
since time began; the love that OK
listed ''to make the world go round"
for her was not the love of father or
mother. When Mrs. Willis had left
the room, she continued to look steadi-
~ and anXiously at Louis.
Have you any thing more to tell
me?' she said, abruptly.
You don't seem particularly thank
full for what you have already heard"
he said. cvasively.

us; you know | love my father. and
how glad | am to hear of his safety. |

and the forbidding expression of her
eye warned him 1T once that he had
offended by the familiarity of his adj
dress.

YOU will have me SO formal. What
was about To say was, that, after the
rebuff you gave me six weeks ago,

she said, trying to conceal the agita-
ton that her words caused her TO feel.
